Automobile driving as psychophysical discrimination

The Bulletin of Mathematical Biophysics, 1962
The driver tries to keep the car in the center of the lane. If the car is too near the left edge, this causes the driver to make a “corrective” right turn. If the car is near the right edge, a “corrective” left turn is made. Therefore, a quantity which decreases with increasing distance ΔL from the left edge may be considered as a stimulusSR producing ...

Automobile Driving With Telescopic Aids

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1980
To the Editor. —My previous letter (Archives1980;98:930) drew attention to the difficulty of correlating medical or visual impairments and automobile driving safety. I pointed out errors in the accident statistics of telescope-restricted drivers in New York State.

ELECTROCARDIOGRAM CHANGES IN PROLONGED AUTOMOBILE DRIVING

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1966
Numerous observations suggest that the cardiovascular system is affected by the complex physiological stress of driving an automobile. In view of the general importance both in regard to automobile accidents and health protection of the driver, the number of observations is still small, and more information is needed.

Perceptual Dysfunction in Hemiplegia and Automobile Driving

The Gerontologist, 1991
Sixteen post-stroke, hemiplegic patients, who requested that they be allowed to return to driving, were extensively evaluated by a physiatrist, psychologist, occupational therapist, and driver training specialist. After they completed a driver training program, the patients were divided into three groups based on their driving program success and ...

Automobile Color as a Predictor of Driving Behavior

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Research on achievement motivation has shown that highly motivated people prefer cool or somber colors like blue and tend to be in a hurry, while less motivated people tend to choose warm or bright colors like red and are less time conscious. We applied these findings to automobile driving, hypothesizing that drivers of cars with high nACH colors would

A Statistical Method for Predicting Automobile Driving Posture

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 2002
A new model for predicting automobile driving posture is presented. The model, based on data from a study of 68 men and women in 18 vehicle package and seat conditions, is designed for use in posturing the human figure models that are increasingly used for vehicle interior design.

Interfaces, autonomy, & interactions in automobile driving

CHI '04 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2004
Issues surrounding human computer interaction apply to all domains where humans interact with a software or a hardware system through a computer controlled interface. It is important that an interface presents a consistent system that matches the operator's goals and understanding, and this importance grows when rapid decisions and actions are required

Suicide by Gunshot While Driving an Automobile

The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, 1989
Suicide by a motor vehicle occurs more commonly than is realized, and may be difficult to prove. Suicide by other means while driving a vehicle is far less common. An automobile driven by a young woman left a road at high speed, became airborne, and came to rest on its top in a front yard. This was initially assumed to be a fatal traffic accident. Upon

Mathematical biology of learning to drive an automobile

The Bulletin of Mathematical Biophysics, 1963
In learning to drive, an individual must learn to rapidly make small corrective turns to the right or to the left as the car comes too close correspondingly to the left or to the right edges of the lane. The magnitude of the corrective turn depends on the angle at which the edge is approached. Thus, the individual must learn to produce a quantitatively

[Cannabis and automobile driving].

Praxis, 2001
Cannabis use has increased considerably during the last 15 years. One of the major problems dealing with cannabis use is driving under the influence of drugs. With the exception of ethyl alcohol, the majority of the epidemiological studies have shown that cannabis is the most frequently detected substance in people suspected of driving under the ...
